SPRINGFIELD, Mo. The Annual Business Meeting of the IAFE was conducted virtually December 8, 2020. The meeting included a report of the Nominating Committee, election of new officers, as well as a “state of the state” address from President & CEO Marla Calico.
“Presenting the Annual Business Meeting virtually proved to be an engaging and more intimate way of conducting necessary business as compared to the on-stage presentation in a theater or convention center ballroom. Attendees were able to provide comments through chat functions to congratulate individuals,” stated Calico.
Outgoing Chair Nancy Smith shared her reflections on 2020 and presented a message of hope for the future. Incoming Chair Eugene Cassidy recognized Smith’s unique leadership role.
